Station touristique de la Cité du cheval de Chine

China Horse Town Resort is a large themed resort on the Bashang grasslands of Fengning county, in the high plateau country northwest of Chengde, built around the region's deep horse culture and the grassland landscapes that have long defined it. Covering thousands of acres at the heart of the Bashang area, it combines a horse-culture theme park, live performances, family attractions, dining, and accommodation into a single comprehensive destination. For families and travelers who like their grassland visit organized, comfortable, and activity-packed, it is one of the most developed options in the region.

The resort's centerpiece is its horse-culture theme park, which explores the historical and cultural role of the horse on the northern frontier through exhibitions, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences. Live performances are a particular highlight, including shows themed around the Silk Road and the mounted traditions of the steppe, staged with large casts and theatrical staging. In winter the resort pivots to a snow-and-ice festival, taking advantage of the plateau's long cold season, while summer brings outdoor evening events, food streets, and night markets. Throughout, the grounds are designed for easy walking, with themed streets, restaurants, and hotels clustered close together.

Plan at least a full day, and ideally an overnight stay if you want to see the main performance and explore the park without rushing. Summer is the liveliest time, with the grasslands at their greenest and the calendar of events at its fullest, but it is also the busiest; weekdays and the shoulder season offer a calmer experience. Families with children will find plenty to keep them occupied, though some rides and shows are seasonal, so check what is running before booking. Staying on site lets you take in the evening program without a long drive back to Chengde or Beijing.

China Horse Town works well as a standalone grassland break or as the anchor of a wider Bashang itinerary, pairing naturally with the surrounding scenic drives, wetlands, and forest parks. It is especially suited to travelers who want the romance of the grasslands without giving up the comforts and organized entertainment of a modern resort.
